CONGRATULATIONS!!
FAIR CONTEST WINNER
The Auglaize County
Recycling Program awarded the winner of the contest held at the
recycling display at the Auglaize County Fair the bicycle that was
donated by Bushman's Bike Shop of East Shelby Road, New Knoxville.
The winning entry was placed by Kameron Puff of Wapakoneta.
Kameron said he was very much in need of a bicycle as the one that he
had was stolen several weeks ago. The correct weight of the bale
of plastic # 1 pop and water bottles was 750 pounds. There were
eight correct entries, so a drawing was held to select the winner.
The bicycle was presented by the owner of the bike shop, Mike Bushman
and County Commissioners and Board of Directors of the Solid Waste
District, Doug Spencer, Ivo Krammer, and John Bergman. The contest
was to guess the correct weight in a bale of #1 plastic bottles, which
is the pop, water and juice product type bottles. The bale was
produced at the Auglaize County Recycling Processing Center on River
Road, north of St. Marys from bottles collected in the recycling
programs throughout the county. The residents of Auglaize County
recycled 5,435,030 pounds of materials through the County Processing
facility in 2007. This is equal to approximately 165 semi-truck
loads of material.
The Auglaize County
Solid Waste District has recently started recycling shoes at the
recycling drop off locations throughout the County. They must be
brought in fastened in pairs, no rubber type rain boots, and no heals
over two inches in height. All drop off locations are able to take
cell phones and chargers, and any computer related equipment.
